Spring is definitely here in Colorado, has been for awhile. Sometime several weeks ago this was confirmed when, heading out of the library one sunny day I heard a little girl tell her mom that spring had sprung. I looked around that day and noticed that Colrado was turning green at a rapid rate. Since then, the days have grown longer, daytime highs now reach the 80's, and Denver is jam-packed with things to do.
Warmer temps end up leading to more road trips into the mountains, and this spring has been no exception. One highlight includes my first Fruition show in Nederland on a beautiful, star-covered mountain evening:

These guys (and gal) have quickly become a new favorite of mine since moving west, and even though they are from Oregon, I will always think of Colorado when I hear their music. That first show in Nederland was amazing. Kinda like a private show for a select few in a rustic and wild Front Range town. Nederland, is in fact, an amazing place. A place where marijuana is completely legal, and where the old hipies from Boulder evacuated to when the yuppies rolled in. When you are there it hardly seems just over an hour from Denver. It does, in fact, seem much farther away than that.
Living right in central Denver has been a lot of fun. There is so much to do and explore! Every single member of our house has taken to walks down to the park to view the nighttime city skyline. We walk and ride to shows at venues like the Ogden and Fillmore. The Vine St. Brewpub is the closest bar to our house, and I gotta tell you... It is pretty sweet. I have joined a yoga studio, and been to CouchSurfing meetups, and playoff Denver Nuggets playoff games:

That one was a TON of fun. I am definitely hooked on Nuggets Basketball now. The Pepsi Center, or "The Can" as it is known, is within riding distance from our spot. Hell, I am thinking that season tickets are in order!
Life in Denver is nice. The thing is, there is a whole state to explore, and a huge one at that! I am really looking forward to getting out of the city and into the mountains soon. My gear is clean, all I gotta do is pack and jet. First things first though, tonight is the first Denver Cruiser Ride!!!!!!
